戊戌，以樞密使趙延壽為汴州節度使，以襄州節度使朱宏昭為檢校太尉、同平章事，充樞密使。 On wuxu Zhao Shou, Military Affairs Commissioner, was made commissioner of Bianzhou, and Zhu Hongzhao of Xiangzhou Acting Grand Preceptor, Associate Grand Counsellor, and Military Affairs Commissioner.

時範延光、趙延壽相繼辭退樞密務，及朱宏昭有樞密之命，又麵辭訴，帝叱之曰：「爾輩皆欲離朕左右，怕在眼前，素養爾輩，將何用也！」 Fan Yanguang and Zhao Shou had successively asked to leave the Military Affairs post; when Zhu Hongzhao received the appointment he pleaded again in person. The Emperor rebuked him: "You all want to leave my side—you cannot bear to face me! After all I have done for you, what good are you?"

宏昭退謝，不復敢言。 Hongzhao withdrew in apology and dared say no more.
